We have been going to Treatville since my 15 year old daughter was a baby. It’s funny, she just turned 15 and Treatville is turning 15. Even though she can’t participate any longerdue to her age, she loves to see her younger brother enjoy it. Hershey is truly a wonderful place. A great place to make memories for a lifetime.
I am most excited for Hershey Sweet Lights. We have never been but I think my kids would absolutely love it! Hershey and Christmastime sounds amazing!
I love sharing Hershey during the Christmas holidays with my grand children. From the s’mores, hot chocolate and the beauty of the park all lit up it is truly a remarkable experience.
Both events sound fantastic but I think Christmas looks amazing! The lights, the food, live reindeer?! That’s definitely the place to be!
I remember Hersheypark Candy Lane as a child. One of the most magical experiences. I would love to take my children!
We have never been to the northeast! I bet the weather is beautiful! I would be amazed to tour all the chocolate facilities to learn about the making processes!
Christmas In Hershey always looks so amazing ! I would love to be able to go with my friend and her daughter!
I’m a PA resident but haven’t been to Hershey in a long time. My older boys got to go with their dad. We experienced Cedar Point at Halloween which was awesome. I’d love check out Hershey
@HersheyPark is the new favorite for us!! Trying to decide between Halloween or Christmas is probably the hardest choice we could have to make. I want to try and visit for both of them!!!
I love Hersheypark in the Dark because it’s cool enough that you don’t get hot but warm enough so that you can still do all the coasters!
I would like to check out Hershey in the dark. We’ve never done either and they both sound fun. But I love fall and Halloween!!
We would love to go to Hersheypark in the Dark this year! My toddler cant get enough of her witch costume and would love to wear it there.
Hershey is such a fun day trip from Maryland! We haven’t been fir the holidays in a few years, but it’s such a fun event!
We have two little boys who would love to have some fun after being home with me day after day after day throughout this pandemic. I love Halloween and Christmas, but if we win the tickets, I would take them for Christmas, to see the magic of the lights and to see Santa!
Christmas Candylane sounds absolutely amazing! Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I would love to see CC up close and in person for the 1st time. So to have my favorite holiday and theme park rolled into one, would be fantastic!
I would love to visit Hersheypark during Christmas time, the treeville trail sounds fun. Thank you for the chance to win!
The Fall is one of my favorite seasons so taking the family to Hersheypark in the Dark would be amazing!
My family and I come to Hershey 3or 4 times a year my granddaughter loves going there she loves dressing up for yreatville very exciting thank u it’s an amazing park
My boys (7 and 3) and I are obsessed with Halloween. We would love to trick or treat in the park and ride rides while dressed up. What a super fun experience!
Just heading back home from our getaway at Hershey! Love the town and people! My kids and I learned so much about Milton Hershey and his wife Catherine, and what amazing people they were to build an awesome community and school. Oh, almost forgot to mention how much fun we had at the amusement park. Absolutely, will love to go back soon.
